Zechariah 4:5-7

New Catholic Bible

⁵ The angel who was speaking to me replied, “Do you not know what they are?” “No, my lord,” I answered. ⁶ Then he said to me, “This is the Lord’s message to Zerubbabel: Not by force, nor by strength, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts. ⁷ What are you, O great mountain? Compared with Zerubbabel, you are nothing more than a plain. He will bring out the capstone amid shouts of acclamation.”
